Raekwon did, Capone and Noreaga have done it, and even left a Sadat X tempted to do so. The speech is in the meantime has become a trend '2 'album title. Usually referred to a very great predecessor, which in turn curious about the second, after the interviews, of course, always better, is to make part. Whether Lloyd Banks' Hunger For More "can be in 2004 now dubbed as an unqualified success, or rather was, is another question, he tried on the second part. The result: The Hunger For More 2 or even short HFM2. Fifteen tracks (including two international bonus tracks) and brings a whole host of guests. But first we look
solely on our main character, Lloyd Banks. Even in early days of G-Unit Lloyd Banks wanted to be seen in even with the greatest potential to also take on solo paths foot. Voice recognition, proper handling of the microphone and even the quietest of all the gorillas in the room. That did quite well and was rewarded with respectable success in his debut. As a result, even though Banks suffered the disintegration of the empire around his friend 50 Cent. Rather than stick its head in the sand, but he left last year with "Beamer, Benz, Bentley Or" get out a real hit, for the powerful rotating custody and brought him back into the conversation. As far as the history.
The album itself does the same with the opener ("Take Em To War") to the right and offers a sober, to be designated as suitable beat, a good performance from Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo and takes with the same first gain to the side . What follows are some very good audible minutes with features from Styles P ("Unexplainable"), 50 Cent ("Payback (P's and Q's)") and flown in directly from Virginia Pusha T, on "Home Sweet Home" really like . To complete the first third is still missing, mentioned "Beamer, Benz, Bentley Or with "Juelz Santana. You love it or hate it and like how this is the first third of a settled above the average.
It follows the love once neglected middle piece, the core of an album, if you will. Often be found right here the bare bodies and loveless most songs and also "HFM2" is no exception. could hardly be ironically titled "So Forgetful" with Ryan Leslie, it stamps itself but hardly any in memory. And the backbone of her very ordinary "Father Time", one of the few pure solo pieces, can be a lot of potential and are given away in the tolerable Hook unfortunately advantages. Furthermore, the name sake worth "Start It Up" with a remarkable quartet consisting of Fabolous, Kanye West, Ryan Leslie and Swizz Beatz is as guests. Reads great, sounds in the end be far less spectacular, it's as expected.
Finally, it should then send the songs for the ladies. As Lloyd'sches double to "Any Girl" and "I Do not Deserve You" with Jeremih to be offered, especially the ladies something. Shallow rape, somewhat flatly RnB bonds and you have a new target group of buyers to a drawer. One is more surprised when Raekwon takes the mic and "Sooner Or Later (The Day I) still one of the better tracks on the album spits out of the lungs. What we look around at the end of the round of "HFM2" and would dwell on criticisms.
most obvious flaw is once again breaking the full guest list. Ignoring the two traded pieces as bonus tracks, if you count all of two solo pieces. On all other tracks is set to support. From a bona fide solo album in the true sense can therefore be no question. And even more tragic is it when you realize that just these two solo performances sometimes more convincing than some of the acting forced collabos. Also with regard to diversity issues, it leaves Mr. Banks at old issues. Can or advocate but also criticize the prospective buyer, I would just assume the former.
In sum, "has HFM2" hardly the stuff to more than a few times the round in the drive to turn. While there are one or two useful song in between, however, not all kinds of further significant that would justify a paean unparalleled in any way. Average and with a little good will which we have just a nuance about it - that at this point but then received no more complaints about a lack of satiety.
